Did proof of D12 reallt die?
Yes, On April 11, 2006, Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club by Mario Etheridge on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan after allegedly fatally shooting U.S. military veteran Keith Bender, Jr. It is also believed that following a dispute over a pool game, Proof fired the first shots into Bender’s head after taking his pistol and striking Bender several times in the face. According to the coroner, Proof had a blood alcohol content of 0.32%.[9] Proof was then shot by the bouncer Mario Etheridge, Bender’s cousin. He was then taken by private vehicle to St. John Health’s Conner Creek Campus, an outpatient emergency treatment site, and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Bender’s family began a wrongful-death suit against Proof’s estate. An XXL article [10] that interviews Mudd (a friend of Proof who allegedly witnessed the shooting) offers an alternative viewpoint to the media reports.
